Description: Students will decide on themes for the quilt, design and execute panels, visit the International Quilt Show (if possible -- it's Oct. 30-Nov. 2) or another quilt show, and "quilt" together as a community. The quilt will be prepared for display. The final product can incorporate other media, such as photography. In addition, participants will be encouraged to share their experiences with others (online or as part of a presentation). A photo-story based on the quilting process will be recorded.
Staff: Susan? Sandy? (I am submitting this as a back-up because there seemed to be student interest. I am happy for someone to take it over if there is other interest. Please note the upcoming International Quilt Show on Halloween weekend, which could be very useful for planners and students who are interested. Sandy and I went last year -- it was amazing!)
Time Required: 3 days plus several planning periods
Max Students: 20 (if two teachers are involved)
Location(s): Comfortable rooms – living rooms would be nice.
Equipment Needed: Fabric and sewing supplies, embroidery and quilting frames, batting display materials. We may need to get some of this donated.
Funds Needed: $200 (may have students contribute a small fee – and raid their grandmothers’ closets)
Number of Vehicles Needed, When, and For How Long: 1 day, possible field trip
Number of Computers Needed, When, and For How Long: 1 day for recording quilting experience
Number of Video Cameras Needed, When, and For How Long: short intervals throughout process
Outside Expertise Needed: Yes, we will need some expert quilters to teach us!
